PROPERTY in land is exactly like that in other
things which get their value from use and pos
session, and as matter of common use its own
ership is no mere deprivation to others who
want it than is the private ownership of food or
clothing, and other necessary things which are
acquired by labor, purchase, or Inheritance,

the domain of spiritual aud religions affairs, and
| that a mans allegiance and obedience in other
matters are to the institutions of his country.

do it. And even if Turpio, or some other Dem
